BRATZ:MOVIE - DVD Movie Get your Bratitude on!
Bratz, the life-action film featuring the four sassy tween-queen doll characters, drives home the kid- and (parent-) friendly messages of being true to yourself, and friendship above all else. If some kickass fashion and retail therapy help deliver those pearls of wisdom, who's going to complain?
The action centers on our favorite BFFs, Jade, Cloe, Sasha, and Yasmin, starting high school together at Carry Nation High, and navigating through the rigid clique system that seems destined to force the girls apart. Along the way, there are fireworks (cre! ated by brainy Jade in chem class), food fights, and lots of cute guys to crush on. Ruling over all: Meredith Baxter Dimly, the Baby Doc Duvalier of high-school politics, somehow managing to be student-body president for at least three years running (maybe the fact that her pop is the principal has something to do with her anointment). Meredith, played to a scheming fare-thee-well by Chelsea Staub, is a formidable villain, but our girls realize nothing can come between true friends, if they just stick together. The climactic comeuppance scene--set at Carry Nation's annual talent show--will have Bratz fans clapping on their feet.
The film's soundtrack is upbeat and catchy, and features big names like the Black Eyed Peas and Ashlee Simpson, and the two show-stoppers sung by Staub as Meredith. And that's a Bratz-wrap! --A.T.

When an older bully 'petnaps' a puppy belonging to twins Nora and Nita, their good friends, ! the Bratz Babyz spring into action! After escaping day care and sneaking past mall security, the Babyz split into two teams: one to try and trick the bully into parting with the puppy, and the other to round up the $50(!) that the bully wants for ransom. It's one adventure after another as they dive for coins in a fountain, perform in a karaoke contest and ultimately confront their foe. But will they free the puppy? One thing's for sure â€" anyone who teams up with the Bratz Babyz is bound to come out a winner!Bratz fashion dolls now have their very own animated feature film, starring four fashion-forward pals--Cloe, Yasmin, Jade, and Sasha--as they navigate the traumas of adolescence with attitudes as edgy as their cartoon caricatures. The film opens as the girls receive an art class assignment to "Express Yourself" through a video they jointly produce. The project creates a convenient backdrop for the storyline, which follows each girl in her quest for self-discovery. Sas! ha is stressed as head of the prom committee, while Yasmin goe! s underc over as the school newspaper's gossip columnist. Jade nearly collapses from a fashion crisis, while Cloe is in search of the perfect mudpack makeover. There are boys, of course, and a conspicuous absence of adult role models. "Super slammin' good times" await preteen viewers interested in shopping, shoes, and spa treatments, but for those who want a film with substance, the search is on.

This toy set is recommended for ages three and older, but a wide range of ages will appreciate the doll's style ! and the hands-on excitement of moviemaking. The doll poses, th! e camera clicks--and your home TV helps set up the shot, edit the movie, and play back the masterpiece. Plus, when you're ready for major distribution, the images easily transfer to your home computer to save, burn, and send.
Tech Training for Your Little Moviemaker-To-Be
It might start with a passion for fashion--the Bratz motto--but the next thing you know your kid will be going from debutante balls to directorial debuts. First, the fashion--Sharidan comes ready for her Oscar in a sparkly silver floor-length gown and opera-length gloves. She can stand on her own if carefully balanced, but her high-heel shoes also snap onto a star-shaped stand for easier posing. There's also a brush for important touch-ups.
Next, the technology--the kit comes with a small, focusable digital camera in the style of a reel-to-reel film camera. The camera can be hand held or easily attached to the small, swiveling tripod. The camera has a viewfinder, but to see the whole image and ! for easier editing, you need to plug the camera into your home TV with the included video cable. The camera's internal memory stores around 60 shots from the get-go; to expand narrative scope, you can add an SD card (not included) to the back, up to 1 GB in size. To save the movie, the supplied USB cable plugs the camera directly into your PC running Windows 98 SE/ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, or your Mac running OS 10.2.8 or earlier--or use your own SD card reader. The kit doesn't come with any software, so you'll have to use whatever your computer has already. The toy set is covered by a 90-day limited warranty.
Filming Debut--Test Run
This toy is immediately engaging--maneuver the doll's 14 posable joints, work the camera, and watch the movie magic all come together. The kit is easy to set up: All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver and three AA batteries (not included). Without using a TV, the camera's side viewfinder is very approximate; but placi! ng the Bratz doll at the recommended 14 inches away sets you u! p for a pretty good shot. The camera was sometimes a little wobbly on the tripod, but you don't have to take the shot until you're ready. You'll need quite a bit of light to get a good image, but that's true of any real camera or movie set. The best part about this toy is that it encourages kids to develop creativity, patience, and technical know-how in a very fun way. And if Sharidan's talents wear thin, the camera can make stop-motion and regular movies of any other subject that captures your budding filmmaker's imagination.
